The Bluestocking is reopening

[ErrolTheDragon]

It's time we reopened the Bluestocking, I think.

This is the FWR pub, situated in the charming village of Badley Fuckitt near the Shady Pines rest home. It has a cannon (for reasons lost in the mists of time), goats in the paddock next to the beer garden and a menu including many soups and cakes. It's open all hours, serving breakfast and tea to all weary women, in addition to being the ideal location to metaphorically drown your sorrows.

Naice coffee ...

On the recommendation of you good people I bought my cats some "Bonkers" this morning. They get a resounding yes from both.
At only 2 calories each, I wonder if I could stomach them...?

Congratulations @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius I'll drink to everyone's good health.

That will make three - one granddaughter who is an amazing character.

Aw @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius there will be three grandchildren with a wise and wonderful grandmother!

Can I sit here for a minute? I've just lost an editing job and a friendship over this whole boxing situation and a newsletter I wrote about it. I'm just gutted, and I feel very alone right now.

That's rough. What are you drinking?

A pint of wine? I really just need a hug :(

Damn, that's shit, I'm so sorry. Here, have a big hug from me.

Then have a hug. Life sucks sometimes.

Passes the lemon cake to @namechangeforgoodreason

Hells bells - I am so sorry this has happened to you.

I firmly believe that, eventually, people will realise we were right all along, and then there will be some shame faced apologies from the handmaidens. Until then, the Bluestocking is here for you.

Oh ducky, that's sad for you. I'm sorry.
Sit down and have a drink ( shandy?) And a cuddle of a quokka.

The Bluestocking cat will be along in a moment. She's usually good for what ails you. Unless it's a cat allergy.

Thank you, lovely women. I would give thanks to each comment, but that will expose my other username and then I'd really be in trouble!

I'm upset and a bit scared, because if word goes around it means losing more money, more opportunities, and probably more friendships. But I haven't actually done anything wrong! Just said I don't think men should hit women for sport (or any other reason).

The writing world is kind of small and full of shitty people. The friend who dumped me was like "I'm so sad and disappointed" but at the same time she was dumping me on the say so of someone else who I don't even know calling me a terf. It's confusing and very hurtful. I am a bit scared of it all, to be honest.

Urgh. That is so sickening. And these people truly believe they are on the 'right side of history'

Sending you a massive hug.

You aren't alone. We hear you, and we are with you.

Thank you. That is lovely to hear. I'm trying to stay strong and remind myself I haven't actually done anything wrong. Even women are allowed to have opinions!

@namechangeforgoodreason I just heard Cake rattling the Dreamies packet, now I've eaten Cake and the Dreamies I hear a knee needs sitting on. Let me climb aboard and purr sweetly at you.

I am very childishly pleased to have made the last post on the thread of insanity. Can I have one of those dreamies, Oscar ate more of my potato salad than any cat should and fair's fair.

I've eaten them all. If you give me a moment I can regurgitate a couple for you.

Please do! I've got some little scritches for you, just under your chin and behind your ears :)

When I get the chance I like to end a thread with 👆

Attention all, my dance card is now full for the evening. I shall be spending quality time molting profusely all over @namechangeforgoodreason best trousers!

I started that thread... had no idea it was going to descend into utter madness. Apparently 18% of people failed gcse biology.

I'd hate to put you to the trouble, and you've reminded me that Ossie did leave me a hairball the other day that I've been hoping would just go away if I ignored it long enough.

@namechangeforgoodreason ah lovey I’m so sorry you’re going through this xx
